Years ago, a few of us here occasionally played Diplomacy via email using one of the judges.
The last couple of days, I've been thinking I'd like to play again and checked the Diplomatic Pouch (http://www.diplom.org/index.py) to see what kind of advances have been made with software. Lots of software available, but it's still email driven. Was really hoping for something a bit more user-friendly.
So... back to Google and I discovered PlayDiplomacy.com (http://www.playdiplomacy.com/).
This looks promising!
Anyone interested in a game? Be warned... it could last months.
-
I remember that and I was also thinking about it recently!
I am interested in playing, either way looks good. The old way or the new link you provided!
I really enjoyed the 1861 World Game. I didn't last very long but I had a fun time with everyone from the Oclub. That would be another fun game!
-
Holy cow, that looks challenging. Does everyone agree to a certain game set or just play them all?
That could take weeks just for one set of moves to go through especially if there are slackers involved.
-
I thought it was one move every week? I could be wrong maybe every couple days. If you don't set up moves in time, you basically lose your turn.

Typically, a turn takes three days but that can be set to anything. Then the adjustments and whatnot... You're looking at a week or so each move.
-
Oooh, I want to. Good memories of those games. Unfortunately, I'm about to take 3 weeks with limited internet access... maybe the next one.
-
Whoa. Other than being a total nublett that's never played before, I'd be interested.
-
So... we've got four. Need three more.

Jeezus H. Christ. That game would last longer than most of my marriages!

There is no Japan in the standard game. England, France, Austria, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Turkey.
-
I liked the World Version. Maybe next time we play we can do that again :)

Sounds good to me.
-
I'm in, never played before but it sounds like fun.
slightly related question: Is there an online version of risk like this?
-
I haven't been able to find a free one. Thinking nobody owns the rights to Diplomacy any more, so this is possible. Just speculation.
-

There is an application of Facebook called Attack!
You can play with friends or strangers
-
We have five. Need two more.
-
Come on guys, just two more people.
-
Ha well since it's been three weeks, I'll play. Internet will still be limited until Tuesday or Wednesday, but after that I'll be all over it. :)
-
Excellent. One more!
-
I may have found someone, one of my friends, who is interested in playing.
I noticed the game was canceled because of the lack of players, it seems we only needed one more. Any chance of starting a new one?

Yeah, it ran out of time. Do we have seven?
-
We had 6. Hopefully we can get everyone back in.
I'll contact Justin and get him registered at the website.
-
I'll rejoin.
-
If you don't find enough let me know and I might join up too.
-
I'll give it a shot if ya still need someone
-
I'd play again.
-
Game is in place.

I emailed Justin a few minutes ago. He should be joining us as well.
-
Ok... Justin (Bayer13) is in. Just need one more player.
-
I'm in.
-
Alright! Good Luck All! :salute
-
Should start soon. Just waiting for Bayer13 to confirm.
Best of luck.

ahh toejam, missed it. Sandy, if someone goes inactive lmk and i'll jump in.

Roger that.
-
I have to say... at this point, I'm fairly impressed with the interface. Much simpler than PBEM and mapping software.
-
I'm afraid to say anything about my country assignment due to the e-peen lashing I got about it last time. :uhoh
-
Damn did I miss this? :(
-
I found another web-based Diplomacy game.
Anyone use this before?

I keep getting a message on this game we have going that the server is getting updated.Wait 30 mins. Been like that for a few days.Anyone else having issues?

Yep. Though I don't mind so much, personally... :D (kidding, of course)
-
With the amount of confusion caused by these random downtimes (this is the third I've counted) and apparently needing a deeper explanation of how moves are applied in what order, I must admit I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought, even regardless of getting whooped.
-

Server seems to have issues. Hopefully, they correct the problem.
-
Hell I wasted a few moves here not knowing how to do so.
-
The game has been down for days... it must be feeling sorry for the Russian and the Turk, knowing that the tables have turned.
:D
-
I saw on their forums that it was down for someone else.I was just about to open a serious can of wupp bellybutton on both those guys too. Perhaps it will come back up.
-
Perhaps it's just overwhelmed at how long I managed to stand up to you three. :noid

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
Open a can on the Turk??? In the words of Lee Corso, not so fast my friend. Italy was headed for the same fate as Austria, and Nef my little German friend, I think you were probably next in line.
While the good Doc over here was worried about little Turkey, England's managed to come sliding in through the back door on him.
I do wonder what's up with the game though, I hope they get it fixed very soon.
-
While it drags out like crazy,it has been fun. I saw somewhere on nthe server forums that it had dealt with some maleware. Might have to did a little deeper there and see if we can find some answers.
-

Note the words "was" and "were". Perhaps had the original Austrian/Turk/German Alliance held, this discussion would be quite different.
:P
-
Hahaha, that is very true, it may have been different but I knew I could never survive if I wouldn't have hooked up with the Russian bear.
-
There is still time to grovel for forgiveness :t
-
Lol, I might end up having to if things don't work out.
-
Just kidding, eager to see the results of this last turn though, good luck :salute
-
Maybe someone ought to ask for a GM's help...
-
Perhaps someone that isnt sitting in their chair saying "wow.I almost got my bellybutton whipped there" :bolt:

:huh What?
-
I was close to extinction.
-
Nah, you still had some fight in you. It all depended on how far England could come up to your door. I was actually getting ready to send you a message after last turn with a proposal you probably would have liked. ;)
-
Its back up.I got no notice,just checked it.Theres 1 hour till moves for spring. Better get moving. :salute
-
Well kids, the game is over.
I'm kind of surprised that it ended with Turkeys surrender. Even though England and I worked out a truce, I thought the game would of continued with two players.
-
Took forever but it was fun.
